Adding a D I to Lengthen resin use ?
« on: March 31, 2011, 07:10:39 pm »
When your tds starts creeping up from the D I vessel, I have been told to rather than throw the resin , to connect it to another D I  with new resin !

It makes sense because the second D I vessel full of new resin is purifying water with a lower tds coming out of the first vessel with the old resin !

I am wondering if it makes any difference which way round the old resin is placed . . . . . before or after the new ? :-[

Definitely old before new, then once your tds starts rising, replace resin in "old" vessel and this becomes the "new" one

It would only be the difference between pure water or not! ;D

OLD BEFORE NEW. ;)

I do this also but, I've put new resin in both D I s and I've produced about 200lts and it's up to 002 already, can resin go off? The reason I ask is that I've stored it in my shed all winter and I think the cold has affected it

What is the tds after RO? after first di?
Was the bag of resin sealed? if open to the atmosphere I believe it degrades, don't know about temp

My RO brings my tds from 450 to 30, so that's working spot on, my first Di takes it down to 2 and the second Di was taking to 000 but it's creeping up already ???

you can also take off the used resin vessal cover outlets and give it a good shake up,refit this brings down the tds,so you get full usage out of the resin,keep doing this until it's shot,then refill with new,Brian.

Has the tds after first di increased from 2, if not,  your problem is only with your second vessel which would suggest it is not your resin.  You have got the inlet/outlet the right way round? and the head is screwed down properly?
